Or as I've said:

"They have pretended to be someone important for so long that they have come to believe that they are."

Worse, much of America acts as though that is true.

THE HOLLYWOOD CREED:

Christians are evil.

Capitalism creates oppression; government creates opportunity.

Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.

Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem no matter the cost.

The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution.

Standardized IQ tests are racist; racial quotas and affirmative action are not. Conservatives are racists; everybody knows that Black people can't make it on their own without big-buck government assistance programs and Hollyweirdos to proselytize the message 24/7.

Abortion is a natural right. The Founders just forgot to put it in the Constitution.

Normal sex is perverted. Threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are just new ways to get a thrill.

Moral indignation is a liberal's standard strategy for endowing our output with superiority.

Victimization is our basic belief by which we blame and find others responsible for our own personal failures, then expect taxpayers, deep-pocketed individuals, or the courts to bail us out. It feels good to be in the throes of "victimization" and either A) causing victims, B) concocting victims, C) playing victim, D) commiserating over victims, or E) creating another class of victims to bleed over.

It's a liberal's duty to treat Middle America in the manner of raising mushrooms, that is to say, keep them in the dark and feed them lots of horse manure.

Women are to be valued only for their cleavage.

The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming value. Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".

Extreme movie and TV violence and explicit sex for the thrill of it is good because it is profitable.

Hollywood firmly believes that 24/7 of the sexually salacious and violent TV, movies and music we produce are not harming kids and the culture.

OTOH, we also believe----with the religious fervor of Tammy Faye Baker---- that a single 15-sec commercial will compel tens of millions of Americans into thousands of stores to buy billions of dollars worth of soap, soup, breakfast cereal and cars.
